Wisdom of the Ancients: Football Edition
Joe Montana climbs down from the mountain long enough to impart this nugget upon us: how to be clutch:During his football career, Joe Montana steered his team to 31 come-from-behind victories that left opponents stunned. Playing as a backup for Notre Dame, he once came off the bench with the score 30-10 with 15 minutes to play and led the team to a 31-30 win.
In the 1982 NFC Championship game with 4:54 left on the clock, Montana moved San Francisco 89 yards down the field and topped the possession with a miraculous off-balance pass to the corner of the end zone for the winning touch down.
Montana seems like the perfect professor to teach a class on how to be clutch, yet he says being ready for dire moments begins long before you get on the field.

I love Jalopnik's title: "Original Sin":The Cobra, eponymous with brutal performance, was in its day the most rabid street-legal car available. Cramped, noisy, and harsh, it's everything a sports car should be, with no dilution from the primary purpose of speed at all costs- it's a thinly veiled race car. This is to have been expected, as it was the brainchild of one of America's best race drivers- Carroll Shelby.In time, this train of thought begat the Shelby Daytona and the hopped-up Mustangs. And all was right in the world.

Set phasers for crispy!
Might laser-cooked bacon be the next great advance in cured pork technology?The bacon cooked well on the top layer, so well that it was slightly charred. After cooking the bacon was thinner after two passes, but didn’t shrink in width like it does with you cook on a pan. It’s possible that some of the top layer of meat was vaporized, but I assume mostly it was cooked.Or it's "the worms." Interesting idea, but...meh, the results -- odd texture, uneven cooking, and possible parasites -- doesn't sound optimal. I think I'll stick to microwaves, or deep-frying where available.
After two passes I stopped it, the top was already slightly charred, I think if I went any further it would have been mostly charcoal. Maybe a longer cook at a lower setting would make better bacon.
I did try it after the process, it was charred on top, undercooked on the bottom, but still tasted like bacon. I did get a mild upset stomach after, but that was probably psychological.

Pig flus + zombies + Battle Royale = Highschool Of The Dead
The illustrations by Shouji Sato were what originally caught my eye, and the more I saw Highschool Of The Dead, the more I wanted to learn about it.If you can distill out the Japanese manga/anime hyperbole, it has interesting thoughts into how the general population, media, and public services might respond to open pandemic.
Of note: the 1918 "Spanish flu" pandemic (the prior instance of H1N1) gets mentioned in Chapter 2. In conjunction with how zombies happen, you know it'll be a supergood apocalypse.
Not so sure of the legality behind this -- although I don't know where a genuine translation can be obtained -- you can read the manga on One Manga.

Zombification now has an explanation. Thanks Harvard, you bastards...In Night of the Living Dead, zombies are brought back from the dead by a "mysterious force" that allows their brains to continue functioning. But how exactly does a zombie brain function? Finally, a Harvard psychiatrist [-- Dr. Steven C. Schlozman, assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a lecturer at the Harvard School of Education --] has the answers.More of the truth regarding this horror from the beyond can be uncovered in io9.
